Description
Chop, dice, mince, and slice meats and vegetables with scalpel-like precision using the MIYABI MIZU 8-inch Gyutoh, a masterpiece of Japanese craftsmanship with a lifetime warranty. The blade begins with the Tsuchime method, featuring a 3-layer SG2 (MC63) micro-carbide powder steel core with a hammered finish that prevents food from sticking to the blade. The Honbazuke process then sharpens the Katana edge using an ancient three-step process: sharpened twice on whetstones, followed by mirror polishing on a leather wheel, the same technique used over 1,000 years ago for samurai swords. The Criodur ice-hardening process maximizes the steel's hardness, flexibility, and corrosion resistance. Hand-honed at the traditional Japanese blade angle of 9 to 12 degrees on each side for outstanding sharpness. The stunning D-shape micarta handle features a mosaic pin, red spacers, and a metal end-cap with logo for perfect balance. Handcrafted in Seki, Japan.
